THE GENESEE PAEMEE. 



this greater simplicity of construction, the price is considerably lower than that of any 

 liquid manure cart hitherto exhibited. The cart shown in the sketch, (fig. 2,) containino- 

 100 gallons, weighs only 5^ cwts. It may be made of any required width, and the 

 delivery apparatus, which is simply a perforated board, can be varied at little cost to 

 suit every description of drilled crop, and also to manure grass lands, &e., broad-cast. 

 It has also been advantageously used in gardens and pleasure grounds, for waterino- 

 lawns and flower beds. There is a cock from which water or liquid manure may be 

 drawn off into watering pots, or a flexible pipe or hose may be screwed into this cock, 

 or by fixing a small force pump into the air hole of the cart, the water can be forced to 

 any desired height. 



The Tumbler Cart is another useful article. It is chiefly intended to carry off the 

 sweepings of streets, nightsoil, &c. The design represented in the cut is highly 

 approved and in very general use already in English towns. The body of the cart 

 consists of a wrought iron tank, which is fitted with a delivery pipe and valve that can 

 be 'affixed or removed in a very few minutes; so that in towns it answers the purpose 

 of a watering cart for the streets, while for agricultural purposes the cart can at any 

 time be adapted to the dehvery of liquid manure, either from a pipe, or in the form of a 

 sheet over the back edge of the cart. 



The '^hief peculiarity of this cart consists in its extreme lowness, obtained by passino- 

 the axle through the body of the tank, while at the same time the convenience of corii- 

 pletely tipping the cart is attained in the larger sizes by the introduction of an eccentric 

 which allows the body to tip, and in fact entirely to revolve on the axle without toueh- 

 insr the ground. 



TUMBLER CART IN A POSITION FOR TRAVELING. 



The great advantage of the low body for filling, not only with fluid or semi-fluid 

 substances, but with earth, gravel, lime, or any other material, for the hauling of all 

 which it is exceedingly well adapted, must be too obvious to require comment. For 

 the purpose of filling, the body can be canted to any required inclination, so that the 

 labor becomes less than that of filling a wheelbarrow, thus effecting an immense saving 

 in the cost of carting every description of earth and minerals. The complete method of 

 discharging the load by entirely tipping the cart, also gives it an advantage for many 

 purposes over every other kind of cart. 



I would recommend this cart to all who collect street sweepings, nightsoil, &:c. To 

 the scavengers of large cities it would be particularly valuable. In Rochester they use 

 boxes placed on carts, from which the filth is not unfrequently sprinkled over the streets, 

 and I have seen contrivances quite as bad in the city of New York.
